Probably the most asked question, there are many tells, like shiny, bubbly numbers, the wrong year hologram on tags, jocktags sewn too high up, price etc. at the top of the page is 'How to spot a fake' click on that and it will take you to the info.

I've read in some other posts that for Reebok Authentics you should go down a size since they run big. For example, the Reebok Premier jersey size large fits me perfectly. Does that mean I should check out size 48 Reebok Authentics? Thanks for the help!

Went with the 48. The 52 just seems so long that I agree with your assessment that I can go down two sizes. Thanks for the help.

I also listed the size 52 jersey I bought. Hopefully I'll make back what I spent to get the jersey that fits better haha

Yeah man the reebok jerseys run so big. I ordered a 52 once and I swam in it for years and now it just hangs in my closet. Even the 48 is too big on me, finding a 46 was nearly impossible. If you havent tried the Nike Elites yet I would highly recommend them! Their sizing is a lot smaller and the fit in my opinion is a lot nicer than the reeboks. That being said everyones body is obviously different, but for me theyre just nicer. Good luck on the sale!

Generally speaking, is it true that sizes 42, 46, 50, and 54 are sizes only issued to players and not for retail authentics? And sizes 44, 48, 52, and 56 were for the store bought retail authentics and sometimes players? And I am referring to jerseys pre-2000.

No. I have had pre-2000s Wilsons in 46 / 50 and a Russell Athletic in 46 which were all retail authentics. I'm sure I have seen Adidas 50s and Starter 46s retail authentics too, so I don't think you can rely on size for identifying issued jerseys vs retail.

Hello, on the Reebok game used jerseys, they have inside the back collar 11-46 and then they show an S or DL. What does the S or DL signify? Does it determine the jersey cut based on the position? Thanks for your input.

Yes you're right the letter codes do determine the cut based on the position. S for skill, DL for defensive line etc.
